In today’s post, we will look at the 5 Basic Elements of a Modern-Day Proverbs 31 Woman’s Morning Practices. This guide will help you create a devotional time with God…
Even If You’re Not a Morning Person
You don’t have to be a morning person to build a meaningful morning ritual. In fact, most of us already have habits we fall into the moment we wake up. The real question is: What is the outcome of those habits?
Some women hit snooze until the last possible moment, rushing out the door stressed and exhausted.
Others rise at 4 a.m., fitting in exercise, reading, and an hour of work before the rest of the family wakes.
And then some Christian women work from home or stay home with young children, where the distractions of home life can be just as demanding.
No matter your circumstances, the modern Proverbs 31 woman can practice intentional habits that build wisdom, strengthen her faith, and bring peace into her day.

5 Basic Elements of a Modern-Day Proverbs 31 Routine
1. Bible Reading
The Bible is how we hear God’s voice. Scripture gives us encouragement, hope, and direction. If you’re just getting started, begin with a simple devotional reading plan to guide your time.
Trusted resources include The Daily Grace Co. and Faith Gateway*, among others, that help Christian women align their hearts with God.
2. Study of the Scriptures
Bible study is more than reading a verse and a devotional. It’s digging deeper into God’s Word. You can study by topic, character, or even individual words.
Some helpful resources: Bible Study Tools, Blue Letter Bible, Strong’s Concordance, and a good Study Bible from sites like FaithGateway * or Lifeway.
3. Prayer
Prayer is simply talking with God. It doesn’t need to be fancy or formal. Like the Psalms show us, prayer can be raw and real—crying out to God in joy, grief, or need.
Prayer is one of the most powerful practices for Christian women, keeping us connected to God’s presence throughout the day.
4. Scripture Memory
Though many shy away from it, scripture memory is a vital tool for the modern Proverbs 31 woman. Hiding God’s Word in your heart equips you with truth in times of need. When you memorize verses, the Holy Spirit will bring them to mind right when you need them most.
5. Fasting
Fasting is often overlooked, but it’s a powerful spiritual discipline. It’s a way to seek God’s guidance, repent of sin, or intercede for others. Whether for personal growth, revival, or breakthrough, fasting refocuses our hearts on Him.
Bonus Element: Stay in Community
The modern Christian woman was never meant to walk alone. Being part of a Bible-believing church provides teaching, encouragement, and accountability.
In community, you’ll connect with women in similar seasons of life, learn from one another, and share testimonies of how God is working in your lives.
You Don’t Need to Be a Morning Person
Practicing these five basic elements isn’t about being rigid or legalistic. It’s about spiritual growth and drawing near to the Lord.
Some Proverbs 31 women rise early, but you don’t have to.
Select the time of day that suits you best. What matters most is being intentional and consistent in pursuing God through devotional habits that strengthen your faith.
